Comparative mechanistic insights into the impact of carboxylated carbon nanotubes on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme modulation in halophilic green microalgae Dunaliella salina
Akram Hosseinnia, Samar Mortazavi, Ebrahim Alaei, Majid ZeinaliSWCNT-COOH acts mainly through direct cellular interactions, inducing oxidative stress, and antioxidant defense. MWCNT-COOH forms aggregates that limit light, impair photosynthesis, and trigger secondary ROS production at high concentrations.
